TWEKD1, I enjoyed the photos, and did not become nauseous over the wheels. In fact if you're running a modern powertrain, they kinda fit the bill. Whether they are pure-perfect-oldskool-whatever is another issue. I find it hard to believe someone's actually pm'ing you and telling you to get off this forum because of wheel selection. It just can't be this serious, can it ? What does one do if the brakes are large enough to make using 15 or 16 inch wheels impossible to mount - now this is just hypothetical - I mean it's not that easy to find suitable steel wheels once the rim diameter has to be increased. I like steel wheels almost more than anything else - don't get me wrong here. Of course it could be argued that big brakes are not traditional. I may be forced to use wheels that are not traditional in my project due to entirely technical issues. Those issues may not be justified worth it to change stuff just to get "appropriate" wheels to fit. With all the respect to all parties, Muki
It really has nothing to do with being close minded. This just isn't the place for that style. This board caters to a very specific niche in the automtive scene, and unfortunatley we come on this borad so we don't have to look through the millions of cars with modern drive-trains and big wheels in order to find what suits us. While the frame swaps, etc. seem to be accepted here, the big billet wheels are the antithesis of what we're are trying to acomplish. Don't take it personal, if you're building the car you like, then drive it, be proud of it, just find the appropriate forums if your expecting a warm welcome. Right now your like an Electro-Techno-Glowstick-in-hand-Raver walking into a Punk Rock club. Apples and Oranges.

The car sucks, the bike sucks, the Mustang sucks, the VW sucks and the Hummer really sucks. Take it somewhere else.......nobody here wants to see your billet infested crap wagon.
Muttley, wait! The '54 Chrysler is kool. Help him out in photoshop if ya can ( I can't) and get some steelies on it and slam that and show him the right way not to ruin a kool ride. Did I say please? Much love to ya. KNUX!
here is a build ya might like this was from like 2 years ago and i dont know what i was thinking when i built it http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/twekd1/detail?.dir=7a0a&.dnm=d07a.jpg&.src=ph http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/twekd1/detail?.dir=7a0a&.dnm=eede.jpg&.src=ph http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/twekd1/detail?.dir=7a0a&.dnm=286a.jpg&.src=ph yes that is a beer tap and a jucuzzi. it was the ultimate bar hopping veh
I think you better get out while ya can. There are more then Muttley that are on here that are going to rip ya a new shitter. I gave ya fair warning, you should have read what I pasted for ya on here. Don't let NADS see this thread!!!!!!!!!!! KNUX!
Dang Muttley, tell it like it is. Sucks that so much work is going into muddying up something that is really pretty cool and unusual. Just slam it, put cool paint on it, and do some wide whites. Done. Drop the ghetto shit... it's so damned ugly.
that is the first time someone paintshoped the car ,,, i do like the look of the white walls, ill finish painting it and see how it looks and decide from there if im keepn the 20"s i must be the white est geto percon around
Must be. Save the money on the hyperglowpearlmicaflipflopchromalusion BS paint and buy that poor car some decent wheels and tires, chrome the bumpers, paint it a nice tasteful metallic color, and put the neat '50s Plymouth side trim back on it. And cut a couple of coils for chrissakes! Sheesh. At least, that's what I would do.
